'''John-117''', better known as '''the Master Chief''', is the main character of the ''Halo'' franchise, and the protagonist of ''Halo 3''. A [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]], he was kidnapped at the age of six by the UNSC's [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] and trained from a young age to be the "ultimate soldier", before being given biological augmentations and powerful [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armour]]. The Master Chief was responsible for destroying the ancient superweapon of [[Installation 04]], before eventually fighting for Earth and leading the [[assassination of the Prophet of Regret]] on [[Installation 05|Delta Halo]]. At the culmination of the conflict, John smuggled himself aboard the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s [[Anodyne Spirit|dreadnaught]] to return to Earth and finish the fight.

[[File:Cortana-H3.png|frameless|left|100px]]
'''Cortana''' is a human artificial intelligence, who served as a companion and ally to the Master Chief throughout the first two ''Halo'' games. She was created from a [[Flash cloning|clone]] of the brain of renowned scientist Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]], once the director of the SPARTAN-II program. During the conflict on Delta Halo, Cortana was left behind on the Covenant capital-station ''[[High Charity]]'' to ensure the destruction of the parasite if necessary, while John-117 returned to Earth alone. Cortana's whereabouts are now unknown, though her accrued knowledge and experience may hold the key to ending the Covenant and the Flood permanently.
